Spanish cooking class in Madrid with a lovely grandmother

Meet Ariadna and Antonia

Ariadna, also known as Ari has been hosting cooking classes with her grandmother, Antonia, in their family home since 2019. After studying translation abroad, Ari returned to Madrid to join her grandmother, the most-loving expert cook in the family, to host travelers who are curious to learn about Spanish cuisine and culture. They are excited to welcome new people to their beautiful city and share all about the history, culture and lifestyle. <br><br>When we asked Ari why she would like to be a Traveling Spoon host, this is what she had to say, “To me, food is a perfect way of reuniting, celebrating and bringing joy to other people, that's why it's one of my biggest passions.”
